To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I. HENRY L. Been, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Toledo, in the county of Lucas and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Roller-Bearings, of which the following is a specification, reference being bad therein to the ac compa ying drawings.

The invention relates to roller bearings of that type adapted to carry both radial and end thrust loads, and it is the particular object of the invention to obtain a construction that may be easily manufactured and assembled, and which in operation will maintain the same speed ratio between all contacting surfaces. 1

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a central longitudinal section through the hearing when partly assembled, showing the manner of engaging the parts; Fig. 2 is a similar view through the completely assembled.

bearing; Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 3 showing a modified construction; Fig. 4 is a similar view showing still anothermodis fication; and Fig. 5.is a section in a plane at right angles to that of Fig. 3.

My improved bearing is of that type in which the radial load is carried by cylindrical rollers, and the end thrust by enlarged portions upon said rollers, which engage grooves in the race members, the line of contact being in the projection of the cylindrical surface so to preserve the same ratio of speed. By reason of the enlargements, the rollers cannot be engaged with their race members by an endwise movement only, and I have therefore devised a construction for facilitating assembly of the parts as follows:

A is an annular race member having a central groove B, ribs C and C on opposite sides thereof, and cylindrical radial load sustaining surfaces l) and D. on opposite sides of said ribs.

E are rollers which are centrally provided with enlargements F for engaging the groove B, grooves G and G for receiving SQIDlBlY of the rollers with the race members necessitates a radial as "well as an endwis e '"fniovernent, the cylindrical members I and l cannot be integral with each other, but must be engaged with the rollers after the latter are assembled in relation to the race member A. Therace member J isalso provided with the ribs C and G and cylindrical end portions H and H for engaging the cylindrical race portions 1) and D.

The sides of the groove B and ribs C and C, as we l as the sides of the enlargement F of the roller, are so fashioned as to pro- .vide convex surfaces contacting in alineinent with the cylindrical contacting faces l.) D

a grooved and ribbed portion corresponding to the groove B and ribs G and C, butthis also must be made of separable sections to permit 'of assembly.

As shown in Fi 1, K and K are members provided with ribs L and L corresponding to the ribs C and C and engaging with the grooves G and G of the rollers. The members K and K are separable from the cylindrical members I and I", and when the latter are removed space is provided for the radial adjustment of the rollers to engage with the groove B. After this engagement', the. members I and I are sleeved on to the members K and K, which will hold t .e rollers against the race member A, as shown in Fig. 2. The members l: l and K K are then clamped togetl'ier by suitable means, such as a central shaft M on which they are mounted, having a collar N on one side and a clamping nut upon the opposite side of the race member.

With the construction shown in Fig. 3, in place of making the outer-race member with the grooved ribbed and cylindrical portions integral, an innerrace member P is formed B said enizu'gemenis, a Jordan of: one cf said :c-ing formed of sepazabio 10f assembly. ningy comprising; a series of mihjrg f ,ed with spaced sylindrical )Oiiii0115 41%113'221, enlargmnents and gmoves mtween said ementa mi cylinch-icui munber upqm @516 Side .14- Qm be; 1g is assemnier} may be s mced from each other able cage 01' spacer V, as shown and which is inseltibie bz ween members and firs refers.
